SWASH AFR (not in SWH1):
Swashplate function rate settings (SWASH AFR) reduce/increase/reverse the rate
(travel) of the aileron, elevator (except H-2 ) and collective pitch functions,
adjusting or reversing the motion of all servos involved in that function, only
when using that function. Since these types utilize multiple servos together to
